Stian Soiland-Reyes commented on TAVERNA-926:
---------------------------------------------
If a binary dependency is CDDL/GPL dual-licensed (as most of the Oracle stuff),
then it's best to leave them as-is to not force a choice on downstream users.
E.g. if we choose GPL, then it's not compatible with Apache license (and we
can't distribute it ourselves). If we choose CDDL (which we can redistribute),
then it's not compatible with GPL license (and so you couldn't use Taverna
with a GPL plugin).
Jackson is confusing the license plugin, as those JARs themselves contain a
LICENSE file that is just Apache license (so it should be good), while the
pom.xml and META-INF/MANIFEST.MF lists both - indicating dual-license.
